lab-e-khamosh se izhar-e-tamana chahe
lab-e-khamosh se izhar-e-tamana chahe
baat karne ko bhi tasvir ka lehja chahe
lab-e-khamosh se izhar-e-tamana chahe

tu chale sath to aahat bhi na aaye apni
tu chale sath to aahat bhi na aaye apni
darmiuya hum bhi na ho yun tujhe tanha chahe
lab-e-khamosh se izhar-e-tamana chahe

khwaab me roye to ehsaas ho saraabi ka
khwaab me roye to ehsaas ho saraabi ka
ret par soye magar aankh me dariya chahe
lab-e-khamosh se izhar-e-tamana chahe

aise tairaaq bhi dekhe hain muzaffar humne
aise tairaaq bhi dekhe hain muzaffar humne
garq hone ke liye bhi jo sahara chahe
lab-e-khamosh se izhar-e-tamana chahe
baat karne ko bhi tasvir ka lehja chahe
lab-e-khamosh se izhar-e-tamana chahe

From silent lips, a yearning untold,
From silent lips, a longing to unfold.
Even speech craves the stillness of a painted scene,
From silent lips, a yearning, unseen.

Walk with me, yet let no footstep sound,
Walk with me, yet let no trace be found.
Between us, let there be no lonely space,
From silent lips, a yearning we embrace.

We weep in dreams, and mirage takes hold,
We weep in dreams, a story to be told.
Upon the sand, we rest, with oceans in our eyes,
From silent lips, a yearning that never dies.

We've seen such swimmers, Muzaffar, we have known,
We've seen such swimmers, lost and alone.
They seek a haven, even to descend,
From silent lips, a yearning without end.
Even speech craves the stillness of a painted scene,
From silent lips, a yearning, unseen.
From silent lips, a longing to be gleaned.
